An experiment in sharing background across multiple elements using CSS. If you want to accomplish a "background sharing across multiple elements" effect in HTML/CSS without any coordinates processing by JavaScript, Multiple.js is the answer. Note that icons and text at lighter layers have gradient-color from darker layers, creating the illusion of an underlying violet layer. In addition to that, layers pass the background image (girl) with equal transparency so that layers can not be superimposed on each other. All these things can be implemented in CSS. Add a gap between elements to make sure that the background remains in the same position. Toggle background image/gradient to get idea how it looks. Miss random layers to make sure that elements are independent. Expands background to viewport's size and displays in every element appropriate chunk, exactly what is needed! Background can be successfully expanded to full viewport size.

ggplot2 is a system for declaratively creating graphics, based on The Grammar of Graphics. You provide the data, tell ggplot2 how to map variables to aesthetics, what graphical primitives to use, and it takes care of the details. ggplot2 is now over 10 years old and is used by hundreds of thousands of people to make millions of plots. That means, by-and-large, ggplot2 itself changes relatively little. When we do make changes, they will be generally to add new functions or arguments rather than changing the behavior of existing functions, and if we do make changes to existing behavior we will do them for compelling reasons. If you are new to ggplot2 you are better off starting with a systematic introduction, rather than trying to learn from reading individual documentation pages.
